I need the exact function like this in Audible:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Page 31, 2-3 clicks for fast forward and rewind. Apple has the solution.

Amazon owns Audible. For audiobooks it is very important that you can rewind back. The Amazon customer service gave a very lame answer, namely, a search for "Kindle Fire headsets" on their site. LOL

Perhaps you have a more insightful view on the issue? It is already confusing enough that Apple, various Andorid manufacturers, Nokia and god knows who has different headset remote payouts and in most cases the fast forward and rewind issue is an afterthought. Not a big deal for music but crucial for audiobooks.

I have the future Amazon phone in mind for a device for Audible consumption.
